Common Concerns
Questions Dominican founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Dominican entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need an SSN or US visa?
No. Dominican citizens can form a US LLC with their cedula and Dominican passport. No SSN, no visa, and no US travel required.
How does DGII reporting work?
As a Dominican tax resident, you report worldwide income to DGII. While there is no comprehensive US-Dominican Republic tax treaty, foreign tax credits can help reduce double taxation.
Can I reach US customers more easily?
Yes. The Dominican Republic has strong ties to the US market, including a large diaspora. A US LLC gives you a legitimate presence to serve American customers directly.
Can I open a US bank account?
Yes. We help you open a US business bank account 100% remotely. Receive USD payments directly without going through Dominican banks.
Can I use Stripe with a US company?
Yes. With a US LLC, you get full access to Stripe, PayPal, and other US payment processors. Many Dominican founders form a US LLC specifically because Stripe is limited or unavailable in the Dominican Republic. A US LLC gives you a US Stripe account with lower fees.
Is this legal for Dominican citizens?
Yes. Dominican citizens can legally own and operate a US LLC. You must comply with both US and Dominican tax obligations, but the structure itself is fully legal.
